Thanks for the responses. I wasn't really thinking about blasting it but I should have. It makes sense that the paint needs an anchor profile of some sort to hold on to. The triple acetone treatment...

Is there a difference in the spray coating concerning durability, protection or appearance if you spray on white steel vs blue or parkerized steel?

The short throw of the BL-22 is one of the best features about it! You're able to maintain your sight picture much easier due to less movement of your hand. About the only thing faster is a...

The "special" was a step up from the "service" grade. They had either new barrels or gi barrels that showed very little wear and they either had new production stocks or gi stocks that showed very...

Has anyone here held the new 336 classic or are online dealers just auctioning guns they don't really have yet? I don't expect them to be much different then the 1895s ruger has already made and the...

If anyone bought a new marlin and immediately realized that they needed to replace those ugly grey or brown laminate stocks with a beautiful walnut one, or if you're an operator and went the other...
I actually started out with one of these first but it was way too tight for the blackhawk. I know triple k makes one specifically for the blackhawk but there were also other things I didn't like...

Thanks for all the replies. I agree about the comments concerning semi-autos which is why I mentioned the 22 levers or bolt actions. Luckily today we were able to borrow a Ruger american rimfire...

So my oldest is at the age where he's ready to carry something in the woods more than a bb gun. My .22s are still too long and heavy for him, so I'm looking at the youth models. I'm not interested...
I've been keeping an eye there but they're all either strong side or butt forward. I think Whyte is gonna be able to get me what I'm looking for at an acceptable price.
The pricey ones are very nice and if money were no object I'd already have one but I have to balance quality and price as best I can. Whyte Leather may work. I sent them an email to see what they...

So I finally got a look at the one I have and there is a build of lead in the same spot. It doesn't affect feeding on this rifle during fire or cycling by hand. I believe I recall polishing the...

Checking in to see if you made any more progress? Its kinda hard to tell from the first picture of the bottom of the bolt but where the small round hole/depression is about 1/4" down from the face...
Does anyone know of someone besides El Paso that makes a cross draw flap holster for a 6.5" blackhawk? I like theirs and all but the price is a bit high for something that I want to fully protect...
Forum: Rimfire Area
Are you sure that is what's causing your feeding problem? I ask bc if its been shot a lot the dimple/depression on the bottom of the bolt could be worn to the point that it doesn't grab the rim to...
Just curious as to what parts of the country are seeing primers on the shelf at stores. No one near me or anyplace that I’ve visited in the south east has seen primers on a store shelf since last...

They don't go on sale until tuesday I believe. They just put up the picks and prices for what they feel like is a teaser.

Well they finally put some pictures and prices up. Can’t say I’m surprised but don’t think I’ll be ordering one.

I think one in a .223/20 would be about the only good reason to have anything chambered in a .223.
Its kinda funny to read this thread as I am in the middle of a project with one in .22lr/.410. ...
Well I've got some info so now I'll just need to load some up and see how they do. My boolits are 243gr sized and powder coated to .410. They fit through the chambers easily enough but my bore...
Thanks for the replies. I'm assuming the 296 data is with magnum primers? Any idea on velocity of the 231 loads?
I also just found where I hid the electronic copy of the #44 lyman manual on my...
Good evening, not much info on here for 240 gr boolits coming out of a 41 mag. Anybody have some info for them behind 231, 2400, 296, or green dot?
